CPI Maoists float another division
Visakhapatnam: The CPI Maoists have reportedly set up another division in the Andhra Odisha Border (AOB) to regain their hold in the Srikakulam region in Andhra Pradesh, and Gunupur and Gudari forest areas and Rayagada in Odisha. The new division has been christened the Odisha-Srikakulam division, sources claimed. The banned outfit had formed a new division – Malkangiri-Koraput-Visakha (MKV) – last year with Venu as its chief. The MKV division is now involved in activities in Pedabayalu mandal and gumma area in Malkangiri and Koraput. Earlier, the Maoists had a Koraput-Srikakulam division committee after the Srikakulam district committee was wiped out in early 2000.
Now, the Koraput area has been merged with the MKV division and the remaining Srikakulam area has been included in the newly-formed Odisha-Srikakulam division, the sources said. However, this new division will not work in Sambalpur, Rourkela, Deogarh and other parts of Odisha which fall under the separate Odisha state committee led by Modem Balakrishna alias Bhaskar, the former AOBSZC secretary, they said. With the new division, the Reds are now concentrating on Palakonda and Bhamini forest areas which were once bastions of naxal activity.
“They plan to revive their old stronghold areas in north Andhra where they have been losing ground. Following the new force’s arrival in AOB from Chhattisgarh, naxals are now trying to use terror tactics to gain control,” a senior police officer involved in the anti-naxal operation in Visakha district said. Ever since a series of meetings were conducted by senior cadres including central committee leaders like Katakam Sudarsan alias Anand, Mallojula Venugopala Rao alias Sonu and CPI Maoists military commission chief Namballa Kesava Rao alais Basava Raju along with Akkiraju Haragopal alias RK in the beginning of last year in the Visakha Agency, the change in strategy of the Maoists is visible, the sources said.
They are now concentrating on setting up revolutionary people’s committees (RPCs) in the AOB areas, sources in intelligence agencies said. As part of this, commander Sunil, brother of Maoist Anand, has been visiting the Araku and Odisha border areas to strengthen the naxal movement. They are even focussing on Gurtedu area, which was also once a stronghold area of the Maoists, they added.

140 people killed in Bastar naxal violence in 2015
The Bastar region of Chhattisgarh continuous to be a hotbed of Maoist activities, with 47 security personnel losing their lives in 2015. Around 115 security men suffered serious injuries during the same time span. Forty-seven civilians were killed by the ultras in 2015, according to statistics released by Chhattisgarh police’s Anti-Naxal Operation (ANO) unit on Wednesday. The security forces managed to kill 46 Maoists and recovered 167 weapons, including an AK-47, an SLR, a 303 gun and four 9 mm pistols.

“Most of our men died in independent killings rather than during anti-Maoist operations,” R.K. Vij, the Additional Director-General (ADG) of Police, ANO told reporters here. Around 327 alleged Maoists surrendered before the police during 2015. This was the second consecutive year when a large number of Maoist surrenders were reported in Bastar. In 2014, Bastar police had claimed that 421 “Maoists” surrendered before police as compared the meagre 39 surrenders in 2013.
